EXECUTE STEPS:

Step 1: Validate Inputs

Verify all required inputs are present:

if [ -z "$TEMPLATE_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Error: template_file is required"
    exit 1
fi

if [ -z "$OUTPUT_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Error: output_file is required"
    exit 1
fi

if [ -z "$VARIABLES_JSON" ]; then
    echo "Error: variables is required"
    exit 1
fi

Step 2: Verify Template Exists

Check that the template file exists:

if [ ! -f "$TEMPLATE_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Error: Template file not found: $TEMPLATE_FILE"
    exit 1
fi

Step 3: Execute Template Engine

Invoke the template-engine.sh script:

SCRIPT_DIR="$SKILL_DIR/scripts"
"$SCRIPT_DIR/template-engine.sh" "$TEMPLATE_FILE" "$OUTPUT_FILE" "$VARIABLES_JSON"
EXIT_CODE=$?

if [ $EXIT_CODE -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Error: Template generation failed (exit code: $EXIT_CODE)"
    exit 1
fi

The template-engine.sh script will:

1. Read template content
2. Parse variables from JSON
3. Replace {{VARIABLE}} with values
4. Warn about unreplaced variables
5. Write output file

Step 4: Verify Output

Confirm output file was created:

if [ ! -f "$OUTPUT_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Error: Output file was not created: $OUTPUT_FILE"
    exit 1
fi

Check file is not empty:

if [ ! -s "$OUTPUT_FILE" ]; then
    echo "Warning: Output file is empty: $OUTPUT_FILE"
fi

Step 5: Report Results

Output success message with details.
